Re: Mamá, ________ -Bien ¿y tú? Mum, how are you? -Good, and you?
In a test I just did, for the above question, I added: "¿cómo está?" but it was marked wrong.
I chose this, because in certain areas, children address their mother formally, so that is why I used the "formal" in this case. i know it is not common, but the test did say, some or all may be correct.
Thank you for your attention to this,
Nicole
Looking at Inma's
Sin/sin que + infinitive/subjuntive in Spanish (subordinate manner clause)%252Fsearch%253Fs%253Dsin%252Bque - and favouring the simpler construction when it is permitted, presumably we could also say? > "... [alcancen su potencial] sin verse afectada su integridad física y moral".
Hola a todos,
In the Weekend Workouts of the 29th November- ‘Friends’
I have tried to start the B2 dictation- ‘La mejor terapia para ser feliz’, however I receive a message to say that it is unavailable.
I’d be grateful if you could take a look at this for me.
Muchas gracias
Saludos
Hola Inma! Why we said para el ninos not por el ninos? I am still getting confused between both of them. Thank you!
Hola,
The third person plural form of the Present tense, (El Presente), and the Preterite tense, (El Preterito Indefinido), are identical for -ar verbs.
Since that is the case, may I suggest that there is a note about this in the lesson with a few examples to show how context can clarify which tense is being used? This would be very helpful.
A simple chart comparing the present and past conjugations alongside each other of some common verbs such as 'trabajar' or 'hablar' would also be useful, especially for those learners who are very visual.
Gracias y Saludos!
Hola Inma,
This appears to be a question but there are no question marks. Is there a reason for this; I am wondering if it is because it is rhetorical?
Saludos

Could you explain the distinctions between:
"Cristina sería una buena madre." "Cristina será una buena madre." "Cristina va a ser una buena madre."
I understand the difference between the first and the last, but I don't understand how the second version is distinct from those two.
I wrote "las velas son tambien ..." but the correction answer was "la velas tambien son ...". Upon re-listening to the recording various times, I feel pretty certain the readers say "las velas"; moreover it is following by "son". Did I hear wrong? What is the reason for the use of "la" and not "las" with "velas"?
Sinceramente,
Pati Ecuamiga
Does Spanish allow combining this construction to say:
“No se qué ves en ese chico. No es totalmente feo pero ni que fuera Brad Pitt.”
Or could/should I say, “No es feo pero (tampoco) no es como si fuera...”
Thanks!
Puede explicar con mas detalle cuando se usa el preterito imperfecto y cuando se usa el preterito perfecto, por favor?
